Put and onion on it!!!

I freakin' love my mom. For as long as I can remember, she has recommended putting onions on things- or vinegar, but this story is all about onion...

I have this really gross keloid on my knuckle from hand surgery back in 2001. I was parking, yes, parking, and grazed the nose of my car on an extended storm drain/curb which deployed my airbag and broke my right hand, resulting in a plate and six screws on the hand bone leading up to my right index finger- all for PARKING!! I like to say I have bi-polar luck: either really good or "break hand while parking" bad. So I finally make an appointment to see about removing it. My chances of having another keloid result from the removal of the first one is more than 50%, so I looked into non-surgical options in the mean time.

One of the first lines of defense is using Mederma. The main active ingredient is allium cepa extract- ONION!! All these years of my mother "putting an onion on it" and she was really a genius instead of a living wive's tale. Not that I ever doubt you, Mom, it's just funny to see your genius penetrating modern medicine.

It seems as though I'll be investing in onion stock.
